"So what games are people running in your shop?"

Mörk Borg? Other Fria Liga? Other Borg-likes? Other Kickstarter games? Is that just me? Don't get me wrong, I love PF2 and I mostly play 5E with my friends on zoom, but I can't be the only one obsessively finding niche games online like *Into the Odd* and *Forbidden Lands* and *Frontier Scum* and porting them into system-agnostic hex-flowers that could support Dark-Tower-esque realm crawling and West March-ish living worlds that I can never find anyone that wants to play and... Do I have a problem? Am I out of touch? No, it's the D&D players that are out of touch

I've been enjoying Numenera for years

Is the US situation that bad regarding game diversity ? I am in a very active club, and less than half of the games are D&D and clones (including pathfinder and OSR in D&D and clones), before that I was part of an active online community, and again while D&D was big it wasn't more than half of the game ran. And if you look at new games starting, due to D&D tendency to be relatively long campaign, it's even hard to find a seat at a D&D game because relatively few games starts compared to other games. (And then there is a couple of indie-game one-shots GM, meaning that there is always a slot open for a less known and often weirder game)

As far as I understand. I've never actually played either D&D or Pathfinder, but I have been in Vampire the Masquerade and Serenity tabletop groups.

A Blues Brothers meme template used with a D&D reference.... How do I upvote more than once?

I've started running call of cthulhu and I really love it so far

whow, RPG over Zoom. Didn't know people did that. It was always Discord for us. (WELL, Skype in the way back when times when my back didn't hurt but y'know)We use Roll20 as a VTT, but we all run a zoom meeting at the same time because we live in different states and continents and it's good to see their faces (and their kids and partners). *Shrug* It's a pretty wide range of technology skills and preferences, so we went with the stuff people know best.

I'm prepping a one-shot with Fangelsehala and a longer campaign with Mothership.

I'm prepping a one-shot with Fangelsehala and a longer campaign with Mothership.I'm gonna bookmark this. Please let me go how the Mothership Campaign goes. I would live to run something in that system. But it seems like the character die way to fast for ä ling lasting campaign. I own the tidebreaker extension and if your experience is good I'd love to run it as a campaign setting with my group.

is that any good now? Know it’s probably changed a lot since the initial latest was released but that initial release looked…. Bad.
